Description Thomas 2008-11-20 23:18:23 UTC

Please describe the problem:
After a few days of not having checked my mail, I opened evolution today and the app would start to fetch mail from my imap account as usual.
But it would then hang and stay hung. Then I killed it, and restarted it and it would come up without problems. Below is the stacktrace. I have a core file around if somebody is interested.
I am running a fairly recent svn trunk version of evolution.


Steps to reproduce:
1. 
2. 
3. 


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?
No
